Bend Racing Partners with Angelina’s Organic Skin Care

Press Release / 12.02.2023

Partnership gives “America’s Toughest Team” support to compete and thrive in the longest and harshest events on the planet.

Team Bend Racing (TBR) and Angelina’s Organic Skin Care (AOS) have announced that the companies have entered into an exciting title sponsorship partnership that will significantly support the athletes on the team’s essential need for "skin durability” through the use of the SkinDoctor product.

TBR athletes will help educate other endurance and adventure athletes on the flagship SkinDoctor product as well as helping to test and develop future iterations of the SkinDoctor line.

AOS’s support of the team is integral, making it possible for Team Bend Racing to compete in 12 multi-day ultra-endurance adventure events and record attempts internationally and across the USA - including New Zealand, Africa, Canada, Japan, Faroe Islands, and Australia.

“We’ve been completely reliant on SkinDoctor for nearly a decade,” said team captain Jason Magness. “It has been instrumental in our team’s successes, including a world championship, world record, multiple first ascents, and 20 podiums at expedition races around the globe.”

Amateur and professional athletes will see deeper integration of the product into Bend Racing events, coaching, and education efforts as well.

“I’ve always believed SkinDoctor to be one of (if not the) finest products that I’ve ever created,” said AOS founder Angelina Swanson. “I initially developed it for rock climbers,but always thought it would be magic for so many other skin issues, and it has been so exciting for it to be this impactful for incredible endurance athletes. We hand make it in Bend, Oregon but are ready to be discovered by a wider audience!”

AOS will be working to add international ordering capabilities this year, allowing for greater global distribution of the SkinDoctor product in coordination with TBR’s marketing and education initiatives abroad.
